Whisky Subscriptions

The Explorer Safari subscription is a whisky tasting voyage, delivered straight to your door one stop at a time.

Recipients can expect two 10cl bottles of whisky through the post each month (that’s the same as 4 measures of whisky in each bottle!). Every Explorer Safari delivery is thoughtfully curated around a different theme; the two whiskies delivered may represent a certain region, style, distillery or year.

The Explorer Safari is designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of the world of whisky. You’ll explore the notes of various liquids, comparing and contrasting two carefully selected whiskies with each delivery. The contents of your subscription box won’t be revealed until the month you are due to receive it.

The is the ideal subscription box for someone who wants to spend time exploring whisky in exciting and unexpected ways. And, with eight drams in each box, it’s ideal for sharing too.

Subscription boxes are posted out mid-month for everyone on a rolling subscription, and those who have subscribed or activated their Explorer Safari before the second week of the month (exact postage dates are dependent on stock, and also where weekends fall that month).

If you’ve signed up for a whisky subscription after the 10th of the month, we’ll get your first delivery out to you within 2-5 working days of activation. You can then expect your subsequent deliveries to arrive mid-month going forward.

All Explorer Safari boxes are dispatched via Whistl, who will place your box with a local third party courier.

Once dispatched, we will let you know your Explorer Safari is on the way, and your subscription box should arrive within 2-5 working days.

Gift subscriptions arrive as an activation card showing a unique code. The recipient then uses this code to ‘activate’ their subscription at a time to suit them. That means you can purchase a gift subscription well in advance and maintain the element of ‘surprise’ until the right day!

Please note: the delivery address for the activation gift card is not necessarily the delivery address we’ll send subscription boxes to when the account is activated. Upon activation, we’ll ask the recipient to provide their preferred delivery address for their subscription boxes.

If we notice that a gift card is initially marked for delivery to the purchaser (i.e. we are not posting direct to the recipient) we’ll pop the gift activation card in an unsealed gold envelope, allowing you the opportunity to include your own message/note/card.

If you’ve chosen to send your gift subscription direct to the recipient, the activation card will be supplied in a sealed gold envelope addressed to the recipient.

You’ll be given the opportunity to include a personalised gift message during the purchase process, regardless of where you choose to post the activation card.

If you have signed up online for a rolling whisky subscription (i.e. not via a pre-paid gift purchase) you can cancel your subscription at any time.

Payment for your upcoming whisky subscription will be taken on the 1st of each month, so you’ll need to cancel before the last working day of the month in order to stop the payment and delivery of your next box.

Simply sign in and navigate to your ‘Account’ page. There you’ll see your personal details, followed by a link to ‘Change your credit/debit card’.

If you are changing your payment details due to a card being lost/stolen or having expired, please make sure to change your details before the 1st of the month so that we are able to debit payment for your Explorer Safari and successfully dispatch your box.

Forgotten to change your card details? Send us an email on hello@thewclub.co.uk or call +44 (0)141 427 2919 and we will sort it out for you.

We currently don’t offer this function, however we’re working on it and should have something set up very soon. In the meantime, get in touch with us on hello@thewclub.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help.

If you’ve waited longer than anticipated for your Explorer Safari, please let us know by contacting hello@thewclub.co.uk or calling +44 (0)141 427 2919 so that we can track your parcel’s progress and post a replacement if necessary.

While we do our best to ensure that all Explorer Safari subscription boxes arrive intact and beautifully presented, accidents do happen. Should you receive a subscription box that is damaged, broken, or you believe has been tampered with, please let us know immediately by emailing hello@thewclub.co.uk. If you can include a photograph of the item with your email, that would be great. We will then replace the damaged item.

Don’t worry – either email hello@thewclub.co.uk or call +44 (0)141 427 2919 and our team will be happy to help. Our opening hours are 9am-5pm Monday-Friday and we endeavour to reply to all emails as soon as we possibly can.
